143 | GEN 6:5 | The Lord saw how terribly evil people on earth had become—every single thought in their minds was evil all the time! |
207 | GEN 9:1 | God blessed Noah and his sons, and told them, “Reproduce, increase, and spread throughout the earth! |
231 | GEN 9:25 | and said, “May Canaan be cursed! He will be the lowest kind of slave and will serve his brothers!” |
273 | GEN 11:6 | The Lord said, “Look! These people are united and they all speak one language. If this is what they can do now when they're just getting started, nothing will be impossible for them when they all put their minds to it! |
311 | GEN 12:12 | When the Egyptians see you, they'll say, ‘She's his wife,’ and they'll kill me but not you! |
318 | GEN 12:19 | Why did you say, ‘She's my sister,’ and let me take her to become one of my wives? So here's your wife! Take her and leave!” |
335 | GEN 13:16 | You will have so many descendants that they'll be like the dust of the earth. If anyone could count dust then they could count the number of your descendants! |
362 | GEN 15:1 | After all this had happened, God spoke to Abram in a vision, telling him, “Don't be afraid, Abram! I am your protector, and your truly great reward!” |
366 | GEN 15:5 | The Lord took Abram outside and said to him, “Look up at the sky. See if you can count the stars! That's how many descendants you will have!” |
387 | GEN 16:5 | Then Sarai complained to Abram, “What I'm suffering is all your doing! I gave you my servant to sleep with, and now that she knows she's pregnant, she treats me with contempt. May the Lord decide who's at fault—you or me!” |
450 | GEN 18:25 | No, you can't do something like that! You can't kill the good with the wicked, otherwise you would be treating the good and the wicked in the same way. You can't do that! Isn't the Judge of all the earth going to do the right thing?” |
465 | GEN 19:7 | “My friends, please don't do such an evil thing! |
473 | GEN 19:15 | At dawn, the angels begged Lot to be quick, telling him, “Hurry up! Leave right now with your wife and your two daughters here, otherwise you'll be wiped out when the city is punished.” |
475 | GEN 19:17 | As soon as they were outside, one of the men said, “Run for your lives! Don't look back, and don't stop anywhere in the valley! Run to the mountains otherwise you'll be destroyed!” |
477 | GEN 19:19 | “If you don't mind, since you have already been so kind to me by saving my life, don't make me run to the mountains—I just can't make it. The destruction will overtake me and I'll die! |
524 | GEN 21:10 | So she went to Abraham and told him, “You have to get rid of this slave woman and this son of hers! A slave woman's son is not going to be one of your heirs and inherit together with my son Isaac!” |
531 | GEN 21:17 | God heard the boy's cries, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and asked her, “What's the matter, Hagar? Don't be afraid! God has heard the boy crying from where he is. |
560 | GEN 22:12 | The angel said, “Don't touch the boy! Don't do anything to him, because now I know that you truly do what God tells you. You didn't refuse to give me your son, your only son.” |
691 | GEN 25:32 | “Look! I'm dying here! What use are the rights of the firstborn to me?” Esau declared. |
756 | GEN 27:28 | “May God use the dew of heaven and fertile land to give you rich harvests of grain and new wine! |
764 | GEN 27:36 | “Isn't he well named—Jacob the deceiver!” said Esau. “He's deceived me twice. First he took my birthright, and now he's stolen my blessing! Haven't you kept a blessing for me?” |
774 | GEN 27:46 | Then Rebekah went and told Isaac, “I'm so sick of these Hittite women—they're ruining my life! If Jacob also marries a Hittite woman like them, one of the local people, I'd rather die!” |
789 | GEN 28:15 | Listen! I am with you and will take care of you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this country. I won't leave you because I'm going to do what I've promised you.” |
791 | GEN 28:17 | He became frightened and said, “This is a scary place! It must be the house of God and the entrance to heaven.” |
811 | GEN 29:15 | One day Laban said to him, “You're my relative so you shouldn't be working for me for nothing! Tell me, what should I pay you?” |
821 | GEN 29:25 | When morning came, he saw it was Leah! He went to Laban and asked angrily, “What have you done to me? It was for Rachel that I worked for you! Why have you deceived me?” |
837 | GEN 30:6 | Rachel said, “God has judged in my favor! He listened to me and gave me a son.” So she named him Dan. |
861 | GEN 30:30 | You hardly had anything before I arrived, but now you have so much! The Lord has blessed you through what I've done. When am I going to be able to provide for my own family?” |
881 | GEN 31:7 | But he's been cheating me—he's reduced my wages ten times! However, God hasn't let him hurt me. |
900 | GEN 31:26 | “Why did you deceive me like this?” Laban asked Jacob. “You carried off my daughters as if they were some prisoners captured by the sword! |
902 | GEN 31:28 | You didn't even let me kiss my grandchildren and daughters goodbye! You've really acted stupidly! |
911 | GEN 31:37 | You've searched through all my possessions. Did you find anything belonging to you? If you did, bring it out here before my relatives and yours so they can decide who's right! |
915 | GEN 31:41 | I worked fourteen years for your two daughters, and six more years with your flocks. You reduced my wages ten times! |
917 | GEN 31:43 | Laban replied, “These are my daughters and these are my children and these are my flocks! In fact, everything you see here is mine! However, what can I do now about my daughters and their children? |
938 | GEN 32:10 | Jacob prayed, “God of my grandfather Abraham, God of my father Isaac! Lord, you were the one who told me, ‘Return to your own country and your family home, and I will treat you well.’ |
940 | GEN 32:12 | Please save me from my brother; defend me from Esau! I'm terrified that he's coming to attack me, my wives, and my children. |
970 | GEN 33:9 | “I have more than enough, my brother! You keep what you have,” said Esau. |
971 | GEN 33:10 | “No, please!” Jacob insisted. “If you're happy with me, then please accept the gift I'm giving you. Now I've seen your face again it's like seeing the face of God, and you have welcomed me so kindly! |
995 | GEN 34:14 | They told them, “We can't do this! We can't allow our sister to marry a man who's not circumcised. That would bring disgrace on us. |
1011 | GEN 34:30 | But Jacob criticized Simeon and Levi, telling them, “You've just caused me a lot of trouble! You've made me like a bad smell among the people in this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites. I only have a few men, and if these people gather to attack me, I and my whole family will be wiped out.” |
1023 | GEN 35:11 | Then God said, “I am God Almighty! Reproduce, increase, and you will become a nation—in fact a group of nations—and kings will be among your descendants. |
1110 | GEN 37:26 | “What's the point of killing our brother?” Judah asked his brothers. “Then we'd have to cover up his death! |
1117 | GEN 37:33 | His father recognized it right away and said, “This is my son's robe! Some wild animal must have eaten him. Poor Joseph has been ripped to pieces, no doubt about it!” |
1157 | GEN 39:7 | so some time later he caught the eye of his master's wife. She propositioned him, saying, “Come here! Sleep with me!” |
1159 | GEN 39:9 | no one in this house has more authority than me! He hasn't held back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. So how could I do such an evil thing as this, and sin against God?” |
1164 | GEN 39:14 | she shouted out to her servants, “Look at this! He brought this Hebrew slave here to dishonor us! This man came to try and rape me, but I screamed at the top of my voice. |
1215 | GEN 41:19 | Then I saw another seven cows that came up behind them. They looked sickly and ugly and skinny—I've never seen such ugly cows in the whole of Egypt! |
1245 | GEN 41:49 | Joseph piled up so much grain that it was like the sand of the seashore. Eventually he stopped keeping records because there was just so much! |
1262 | GEN 42:9 | Joseph thought back to the dreams he'd had about them, and told them, “No! You're spies! You've come to discover our country's weaknesses!” |
1281 | GEN 42:28 | He told his brothers, “My money's been returned to me. It's right here at the top of my sack!” They were horrified! Trembling with fear they asked each other, “What is this that God's done to us?” |
1284 | GEN 42:31 | “We told him, ‘We are honest men. We're not spies! |
1288 | GEN 42:35 | As they emptied their sacks, each one's money bag was there in his sack! When they and their father saw the money bags, they were horrified. |
1289 | GEN 42:36 | Jacob their father accused them, “You have taken Joseph from me—he's gone! Simeon is gone too! Now you want to take Benjamin away! I'm the one who's suffering from all of this!” |
1299 | GEN 43:8 | Judah said to his father Israel, “Send the boy in my care, and we'll leave immediately, so that we can stay alive and not die—and that includes you and us and our children! |
1300 | GEN 43:9 | I promise to take care of him—I'll be personally responsible for bringing him back to you. If I don't, then I will always carry the blame! |
1309 | GEN 43:18 | They were really worried that they were being taken to Joseph's house. “It's because of the money that was put in our sacks the first time we came,” they said to each other. “That's why we're being brought in—so he can accuse us and attack us! He'll make us his slaves and take our donkeys!” |
1314 | GEN 43:23 | “Everything's fine!” he told them. “Don't worry! Your God, the God of your father, must have given you the treasure hidden in your sacks. I got your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to meet them. |
1332 | GEN 44:7 | “My lord, what are you saying?” they replied. “We your servants wouldn't do anything like that! |
1368 | GEN 45:9 | Now hurry! Go back to my father and tell him, ‘This message comes from your son Joseph: God has made me the ruler of the whole of Egypt. Come to me now; don't wait. |
1371 | GEN 45:12 | Then Joseph told his brothers, “You can all see for yourselves—including my brother Benjamin—that it's really me talking to you! |
1372 | GEN 45:13 | Tell my father how much I'm respected in Egypt. Tell him everything that you've seen. Hurry! Bring my father here quickly!” |
1385 | GEN 45:26 | “Joseph's still alive!” they told him. “It's true, and he's the ruler of the whole country of Egypt!” Jacob was stunned at the news—he just couldn't believe it! |
1387 | GEN 45:28 | Israel said, “All right, I believe you! My son Joseph is still alive! I'm going to go and see him before I die.” |
1390 | GEN 46:3 | “I am God, the God of your father! Don't be afraid to go to Egypt, because I will turn you and your descendants into a great nation. |
1436 | GEN 47:15 | Once the money from Egypt and Canaan had run out, the Egyptians all came to Joseph and demanded, “Give us food! Do you want us to die right in front of you? All our money is gone!” |
1444 | GEN 47:23 | Then Joseph told the people, “Listen to me! Now that I have bought you and your land for Pharaoh, I'm giving you some seed for you to sow the fields. |
1477 | GEN 49:3 | Reuben. You are my firstborn, conceived when I was strong, born when I was vigorous! You were above all others is position, above all others in power. |
1481 | GEN 49:7 | I curse their anger because it is too harsh; I curse their fury because it is too cruel! I will separate their descendants throughout Jacob; I will scatter them throughout Israel. |
1589 | EXO 3:9 | Listen! The cries of the Israelites have reached me, and I have seen how badly the Egyptians are mistreating them. |
1591 | EXO 3:11 | But Moses said to God, “Why me? I'm a nobody! I couldn't go to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites out of Egypt!” |
1649 | EXO 5:16 | You don't give us any straw but your slave drivers demand that we make bricks, and they beat us! Your people are treating us badly!” |
1651 | EXO 5:18 | Now get out of here and go back to work! You won't be given any straw but you'll still have to produce the full quota of bricks!” |
1654 | EXO 5:21 | and said, “May the Lord see what you have done and judge you accordingly! You have made us like a bad smell to Pharaoh and his officials. You have put a sword in their hands to kill us!” |
1658 | EXO 6:2 | God spoke to Moses and told him, “I am Yahweh! |
1706 | EXO 7:20 | Moses and Aaron did exactly as the Lord had ordered. While Pharaoh and all his officials watched, Aaron lifted up his walking stick and hit the water of the Nile. Immediately the whole river turned to blood! |
1707 | EXO 7:21 | The fish in the Nile died, and the river smelled so awful that the Egyptians could not drink its water. There was blood through all of Egypt! |
1737 | EXO 8:22 | “No, that wouldn't be the right thing to do,” Moses replied. “The sacrifices we offer to the Lord our God would be offensive to Egyptians. If we went ahead and offered sacrifices offensive to Egyptians, they'd stone us! |
1761 | EXO 9:18 | So watch out! About this time tomorrow I will send down the worst hailstorm that has ever fallen on Egypt, from the beginning of its history until now. |
1770 | EXO 9:27 | Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and told them, “I admit that I sinned this time! The Lord is right, and I and my people are wrong! |
1788 | EXO 10:10 | “The Lord really would have to be with you if I let your children go with you!” Pharaoh answered. “Clearly you're planning some kind of evil trick! |
1789 | EXO 10:11 | So no! Only the men can go and worship the Lord, because that's what you've been asking for.” Then he had Moses and Aaron thrown out. |
1806 | EXO 10:28 | Pharaoh shouted at Moses, “Get out of here! I don't want to see you ever again! If I ever do see you again you'll die!” |
1848 | EXO 12:31 | Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron during the night and told them, “Get out of here! Leave my people, the two of you and the Israelites! Go, so you can worship the Lord as you have asked. |
1849 | EXO 12:32 | Take your flocks and herds as well, just like you've said, and leave! Oh, and bless me too.” |
1903 | EXO 14:13 | But Moses said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand where you are and you will see how the Lord will save you today. The Egyptians you see right now, you will never see again! |
1922 | EXO 15:1 | Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the Lord: “I will sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea. |
1927 | EXO 15:6 | Your power, Lord, is truly amazing! Your power, Lord, crushed the enemy. |
1942 | EXO 15:21 | Miriam sang to them: “Sing to the Lord, for he is supreme! He has thrown the horses and their riders into the sea.” |
1952 | EXO 16:4 | The Lord told Moses, “Just watch! I'm going to rain down bread from heaven for you! Each day the people are to go out and collect enough for that day. I'm going to test them by this to find out whether they'll follow my instructions or not. |
2039 | EXO 19:12 | Set up a boundary for the people all around and warn them, ‘Watch out! Don't try to go up the mountain—don't even touch it! For anyone who touches the mountain will most certainly be killed. Don't touch any person or any animal that has touched the mountain. |
2440 | EXO 32:1 | When the people realized how long Moses was taking before he came back down the mountain, they went together to see Aaron. They told him, “Get up! Make some gods for us who can lead us because this man Moses who brought us out of the land of Egypt—we don't know what's happened to him!” |
2448 | EXO 32:9 | “I know what these people are like,” the Lord continued saying to Moses. “They are so rebellious! |
2449 | EXO 32:10 | Now leave me! I am angry with them—let me finish them off! I will make you into a great nation.” |
2503 | EXO 34:6 | The Lord passed in front of him, calling out, “Yahweh! Yahweh! I am the God of grace and mercy! I am slow to become angry, full of trustworthy love and always faithful. |
2508 | EXO 34:11 | But you must carefully follow what I tell you to do today. Pay attention! I'm going to drive out ahead of you the Amorites, Canaanites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites. |
3301 | LEV 19:19 | Do what I tell you! Don't make different kinds of livestock breed together. Don't sow your fields with two different kinds of seed. Don't wear clothes made of two different kinds of material. |
3542 | LEV 26:17 | I will turn against you, and you'll be defeated by your enemies. People who hate you will rule over you, and you'll run away even when there's no one chasing you! |
3561 | LEV 26:36 | I will make those of you who survive so discouraged that as you live in the lands of your enemies even the sound of a leaf blowing in the wind will scare you into running away! You'll run away like you're being chased by someone with a sword, and fall down even though no one is after you. |
4031 | NUM 11:6 | We're fading away here! The only thing we ever see is this manna!” |
4103 | NUM 13:27 | This is the report they gave to Moses: “We went and explored the country you sent us to, and it is definitely very productive, as if it was flowing with milk and honey. Just look at some of its fruit! |
